Whip Count: Congressional Calls for a Vote on Fighting ISIS

The Rachel Maddow Show has decided to start a running whip-count for members of Congress who have signed letters, or said publicly, that Congress must vote on authorization for the use of U.S. military force in Iraq or Syria. Below is our running tally so far.

We hope that you can help us keep our running tally up-to-date. If your member of Congress joins or drops off this list, please let us know. We hope this can be an authoritative source of members of Congress who are not wussing-out of their constitutional responsibilities to take a vote on these matters. Keep us posted!
